Yoga is well known for its power to create a healthy body, but few realize the emotional and spiritual benefits. As the only woman to have published a book on the Yoga Sutras (The Secret Power of Yoga), Nischala Joy Devi interprets this ancient text from a heart-centered, intuitive perspective. Devi’s simple, elegant, and deeply personal interpretations capture the spirit of each Sutra, and her suggested practices offer numerous ways to embrace the spirituality of Yoga throughout your day.

Ancient Aboriginal Cosmology

OM Center • 1216 Howard St. • 402.345.5078

Using immersive, multi-media storytelling Paul draws from the ancient Aboriginal cosmology, offering a gateway into the world’s oldest living culture – in what Wardaman Elder Yidumduma Bill Harney calls Bush University. Bush University is the Aboriginal term for the School of Nature, paying attention to living things, the land and the stars. These are spiritually alive and constantly teaching us, reminding us of our primary role to care for the natural world.

This planetarium show features the Ancient Aboriginal Star Law of Yidumduma Bill Harney, the last living Custodian of his people. Aboriginal Skies illuminates one of the world’s oldest living cultures with stunning images, video, digeridoo and Paul’s engaging storytelling, linking directly to the wondrous Southern sky. You’ll hear the Wardaman Creation Story with Songs of the Dreaming, and how it links to the Songlines in the night sky. This experience highlights Yidumduma Bill Harney and his groundbreaking work with Dr. Hugh Cairns in their book, Dark Sparklers.

The Rainbow Serpent is one of the oldest continuous spiritual beliefs in the world - one that links creation, the cycle of the seasons and the life-giving essence of water to the world. The mural is a spiritual story painting using the Aboriginal ritual of community painting, everyone working at the same time. Inspired by Aboriginal art styles, local geography/waterways and symbols, each mural is designed and painted by the participants. Celebrate your land with full intention of ensuring all life flourishes in balance. As Bill Harney says, we “bring happiness to the land.”
